I frequently see natalists, trads, etc. promote detached SFH at all costs, because they have negligibly higher fertility than terraced homes, as though low-density sprawl is the solution to demographic problems (and, apparently, sexual immorality). It's naive and will backfire.
According to natural law and Catholic moral theology, large families are the norm. But it is difficult to have such families without single-family housing. The obstacles that developers and state and city officials put in the way of building a sufficient amount of such housing is thus a major source of grave social injustice today, and something that Catholic bishops, and Catholics in general, ought to be loudly and forcefully resisting by all possible means. Nor is it enough to talk about housing in general. Again, it is housing for families, and indeed for large families, that needs the greatest emphasis. This is an area where systemic economic injustice and systemic sexual immorality help hold each other in place – the lack of such housing locking people into what Pope St. John Paul II called the “contraceptive mentality,” and the contraceptive mentality preventing people from seeing just how urgent a moral problem the lack of affordable single-family housing is.

Die Herero kamen als Eroberer und verdrängten die Ureinwohner Namibias, die San, und machten die Damara zu ihren Knechten. Als die Deutschen kamen, existierte kein Namibia. Es war ein Gelände, auf dem blutige Kriege mit beweglichen Fronten stattfanden. Es gab keine Schrift und keine Straßen. Und es gab in dem Wüstenland vor dem Kolonialismus viel weniger Menschen als nach dem Kolonialismus. In der Schlacht am Waterberg kämpften Nama gegen ihre traditionellen Erzfeinde, die Herero - auf Seiten der Deutschen.
dishonest, Jewish, and anti-Christian. All that may well be true, but his anti-Christian impetus manifests a more troubling conception of the nature and purpose of philosophy.
unavailable to man qua man. This is a claim that is unacceptable to Strauss and, he thinks, noxious to philosophy as a way of life.
All of this is to say that there is a more sophisticated critique of Strauss (which I think Fuentes is very much getting at!) than that he was
this division is merely apparent: there is a real harmony between the two domains. Strauss will chalk this up to a decision on behalf of 'political theology,' in that the treatment of philosophy at the handmaiden of theology amounts to a concession that the ultimate truths are
and revelation are set in irreconcilable opposition, but this opposition is fruitful and the basis for genuine culture. It is important that they be separated and accorded their proper domains, which is part of the lesson of Plato's *Republic* on his reading. For the Catholic,
Jewish neurosis and hatred of Edom or something. That may be going on, and of course Strauss is also drawing the contrast from Tertullian, but there is a deeper reason for the omission, which is that Rome represents a synthesis that Strauss means to deny. For Strauss, philosophy
poles that are set in irreducible opposition yet, Strauss thinks, a productive tension: Athens (philosophy) depends upon Jerusalem (religion) as a condition of its possibility.
Catholics sometimes notice that "Rome" is excluded from this dichotomy, as though this were just a
it an essential political function, but he treats it as adversarial to philosophy by definition, hence the theologico-political problem and the need for esotericism. This is also the basis of the (very cliché and overused, imo) "Athens and Jerusalem" dichotomy, representing two
